Be Cool, 04 May 2016If true, Apple might survive at least another year. LOLActually, Apple is a popular brand (probably the most popular smartphone maker in the world only maybe equaled by Samsung) whose "innovations" aren't actual innovations but they get adopted on new phones because iPhone is a trend which hated or not is loved by developers and whose hardware is "cool enough" to make other companies try to do the same. It's like a drug to them. You can't do anything to change this because even though they're expensive outside the US, people still buy them. Even though they're expensive, Europeans buy them and now Chinese buy them and those from South America will start buying them. Add to that Australia, the UAE, the Middle East, even India. So if Apple will do something stupid and call it "innovative", "futuristic", "ahead of its time", whatever you want to call it, the other companies will start to copy whatever Apple will do be it good or bad. ;)

threepoundog, 04 May 2016Won't ever have it because it doesn't need it. It was the first with a small reversible connector.of course it needs it.. what u want stuck with usb 2.0 forever ? :) Poor lightning..
There will be nice usb type c but apple will be ashamed so they won't call it usb c but thunderbolt 3https://thunderbolttechnology.net/blog/thunderbo­lt-3-usb-c-does-it-all

Herodroid, 03 May 2016hahaha i knew it! apple would degrease in revenue even more if they removed that jack!! they a... moreAndroid better? The best term would be "more affordable". Not anyone can afford an Apple product so they run it down out of jealousy/ignorance. Sour grapes.

Mailman, 03 May 2016Most probably this iPhone gonna fail, because apple is focused for next generation - 7s or wha... moreWell traditionally the S models are the less desired models, but then again, they tend to get the camera upgrades. Let's see.

Gon-j, 03 May 2016Maybe apple kept their ears on the ground and heard some feedbacks about Le Eco (and others)..... moreAudiophiles should already be using lighting-connector headphones if their concern is for quality. I mean, a digital port vs. analogue, what can I say?

I personally use 3D Touch a lot more than I use Siri, for example. 3D Touch is quite useful if executed right, but a lot of developers don't put any thought into it.

But the reaction of the iboys calm them down.
BTW, the 3D Touch BS didn't impress anybody, and was useless epic fail too. Even the iboys didn't care about this 'magic'.

It's funny cause some stupid Chinese company copied the rumor thinking they would look coll by adding afeature before Apple. Last time Huawei copied 3D touch after hearing the rumors and it kinda worked for them but sadly it didn't work for this other Chinese company. I almost feel sorry for them, I really do.
